NAME
       ts_uinput - A daemon program creating a tslib-filtered and calibrated input event device

SYNOPSIS
       ts_uinput [OPTION]

DESCRIPTION
       ts_uinput  provides an alternative for using tslib's API in order to get filtered and calibrated touch screen inputs.
       Using Linux' uinput system, it creates an input event device to be used in your environment.   It  uses	ts_read_mt()
       and thus supports single and multi touch.

       -d, --daemonize

	   Start  ts_uinput  as	 a daemon and return. The sysfs' input device name of the newly created device is printed to
	   stdout before returning. If --verbose is chosen too, the /dev/input/eventX path to the device node is printed.

       -v, --verbose

	   Print debug information to stdout and stderr. Only if --daemonize is not chosen. If used together  with  --daemo‐
	   nize,  the  path to the created input event device node /dev/input/eventX is printed before the program forks and
	   returns.

       -n, --name

	   Set the name of the new input event device. Default: ts_uinput.

       -i, --idev

	   Explicitly choose the original input event device for tslib to use. Default: the environment variable TSLIB_TSDE‐
	   VICE's value.

       -f, --fbdev

	   Explicitly choose the framebuffer device to use. Default: the environment variable TSLIB_FBDEVICE's value.

       -s, --slots

	   Explicitly set the possible concurrent touch contacts supported. May be only needed if the original input  device
	   doesn't report it.

       -b, --nofb

	   Read the screen resolution values from the input device, not the framebuffer device.
